About
Wendy Osborn
Psychotherapist – Yoga Teacher – Spiritual Mentor
Wendy’s deepest calling manifests through being a lifetime student of the spiritual dimension of existence. Having studied with and been influenced by one teacher for many years, she experienced a spiritual crisis resulting in the need to to find the truth as it presented itself to her without the intermediary of the guru.
Because of her history and naturally empathic temperament, Wendy is highly attuned and adept at supporting each person as they evolve over time. Her present practice centers around the Diamond Approach, Pranakriya Yoga, and the chanting of mantra, with a deep bow to the ultimate teachers: Life, Death and the Inner Guru.
Wendy has been a licensed clinical social worker since 1984 and in private practice since 1988. In addition to being a psychotherapist in private practice, Wendy had the honor of working for 3-½ years as a hospice social worker. She has experience in community mental health, working with the developmentally disabled, and in the field of addictions and eating disorders.
Wendy welcomes whatever shows up in each session and encourages you to do the same. She utilizes approaches from clinical and spiritual frameworks, including Buddhist and Yoga Psychologies and the Diamond Approach, a spiritual path synthesizing Western psychology and spirituality.
Additionally, she is trained in and has great regard for Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family System’s, Psychodynamic theories, and EMDR.

When you are lonely or in darkness,
The Astonishing Light
Of your own Being!”
